It sounds dirty, I know but it’s really not — It’s amazingly dirty and helpful at the same time.
Graham Stewart over at Graha.ms designed the first “tether” app for the G1 and the Android OS. Better than that, it’s cross-platform compatible so Windows lovers, Mac heads and Linux gurus can all browse the web through their phones.
I say “tether” because it uses SOCKS proxying right now but I’m sure he won’t let us down and he’ll set it up for a full NAT app that allows all applications to use it to get out to that vast world wide web.
I don’t want to re-post his directions because when he goes ahead and makes the application even better, I’d have to update this blog (and we all know how consistently I do that) but shoot over to his page, download the app and let me know how it works for you.
Note: One thing to do in Firefox — Enable SOCKS DNS look ups by typing about:config into your address bar and changing network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to TRUE by right clicking and choosing Toggle. You should be all set. Enjoy!
